Kikuichi history dates back some seven hundred years when we started as a sword smith allowed us to bore the emperor's chrysanthemum symbol. Today, we are the only cutlery manufacturer with the true legacy of Samurai sword smith. Our tradition of sword making begun so long ago it is something that the Kikuichi is proud to carry on in the high standard of craftsmanship we apply to the cutlery we produce today. © 2013 Kikuichi.com All rights reserved.
